C.J. Uzomah

Veteran free agent TE C.J. Uzomah is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Uzomah spent the beginning of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals as a fifth-round TE before spending his last pair of seasons with the New York Jets. Heading into his 10th NFL season, he will serve as a backup TE for the Eagles behind TE Dallas Goedert. Uzomah has had two 400-yard seasons but just 58 yards in 2023.

The Jets are expected to release C.J. Uzomah.

Fantasy Impact

The move would save the Jets over $5 million in cap space. He'll look to land as a depth tight end with a new team in free agency.

C.J. Uzomah is reportedly a "near lock" to be released this offseason by the Jets.

Fantasy Impact

This is expected as the Jets are looking to clear cap space this offseason. Uzomah was set to make $11 million during the 2024 season with the Jets being able to save $5.3 million by letting him go. He'll look to land a depth role on a new team in free agency.

C.J. Uzomah (knee) was sent to IR by the Jets on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Uzomah has been mostly a non-factor for the Jets this season, and now a knee issue will ultimately end the campaign early for the veteran tight end. Kenny Yeboah has been activated in a corresponding move.

C.J. Uzomah caught his lone target for 19 yards in the Jets' 13-10 Week 8 overtime win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Uzomah has yet to make much of a sizeable impact in the Jets passing attack, recording two targets or less in each of his five games for the club. The tight end is not a viable option for fantasy managers in any format, even with a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers up next.
